-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- A scathing resignation letter written by a former city clerk in Pleasant Hill , California , has gone viral after she wished the city `` best of luck in finding some schmuck '' to fill her position .

`` This has been an atrocious , incredibly depressing , and mind-numbingly inane experience I would not wish on anyone , '' former clerk Kim Lehmkuhl wrote in her resignation letter . `` I wish the City the best of luck in finding some schmuck eager to transcribe every last misogynistic joke , self-indulgent anecdote , and pathetic pandering attempt by Council , and every tinfoil hat conspiracy theory , racist aside , and NIMBY asshattery from the lovely Council meeting frequent flyers , without which , surely our democracy could not flourish . June , also best of luck with your imminent unfunded pensions scandal , that is going to be a rough one . ''

The letter was addressed to Mayor Tim Flaherty and City Manager June Catalano . It became public after it was admitted into the record during a council meeting Monday .

`` At least her resignation demonstrated her ability to craft a full sentence with colorful language , '' Flaherty told CNN , adding that there was a recall effort under way to remove Lehmkuhl .

`` Every councilmember had called for her resignation , '' he said . `` We had to hire people to do her job . ''

CNN reached out to Lehmkuhl via Twitter and e-mail but did not receive a response .

In a blog dedicated to her clerk campaign , Lehmkuhl wrote she `` would be honored to have the opportunity to serve our local community as your City Clerk . '' She adds , `` I am committed to helping Pleasant Hill residents stay engaged in our community , and to keeping City Hall accountable , ethical and transparent . ''

Martin Nelis , the city 's public information officer , told CNN that residents had complained that Lehmkuhl would post offensive tweets during public meetings about what was being discussed .

`` Residents criticized her for tweeting during meetings rather than taking notes or recording the proceedings of the meetings for the formal minutes process , '' he said .

The Twitter account Lehmkuhl used has since been disabled .

`` We are not quite sure why she ran for office in the first place , what her expectations were once elected . We have never received a complete answer . Obviously what her expectation was is different of what the public and the council expected of her , '' Nelis said .

Flaherty said he considered sending the letter back to Lehmkuhl and asking her to rewrite it but instead settled for , `` Your decision is best for you and for the City of Pleasant Hill . ''
